Using Numeric Priorities

Introduction

Some users prefer to use numeric priorities like “1, 2, 3, etc” (where 1 is the highest) rather than using “immediate, urgent, high, etc”. This guide goes through the steps of customizing Mantis so that it uses such priority system.

config_inc.php

# Use numeric priorities
$g_priority_enum_string='1:1,2:2,3:3,4:4,5:5,6:6,7:7,8:8,9:9';# Default bug priority when reporting a new bug
$g_default_bug_priority=4;# Use text priorities rather than icons.
$g_show_priority_text= ON;
